    I am murdering the music we thought so special,
    that blazed between us, over and over.
    I am murdering me, where I kneeled at your kiss.
    I am pushing knives through the hands
    that created two into one.”

    “Mr. Roosevelt, this is my principal request—it is almost the last request I shall ever make of anybody. Before you leave the presidential chair, recommend Congress to submit to the Legislatures a Constitutional Amendment which will enfranchise women, and thus take your place in history with Lincoln, the great emancipator. I beg of you not to close your term of office without doing this.”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    “I am happy to find you are on good terms with your neighbors. It is almost the most important circumstance in life, since nothing is so corroding as frequently to meet persons with whom one has any difference.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
